Mass brawl at birthday party: police in Jenbach

Jenbach, Österreich - On Pentecost Sunday there was a large police operation in Jenbach (Schwaz district) due to a mass brawl that took place during a birthday party. The celebration had been organized especially for a 40-year-old and should only be accessible to family and close friends. Nevertheless, the police received several emergency calls about a discussion that escalated to a considerable extent on site. When they arrived, the officials met around 80 people who had gathered in different groups on the street and were in an aggressive mood. Several people had to be held back to calm down the Situation, reported [OE24] (https://www.oe24.at/oesterreich/chronik/tirol/grosser-polp.

The reasons for the arguments remained unclear. While some people tried to smooth the waves, many others showed aggressive behavior. In order to end the disputes, the police intervened and separated the groups. With the arrival of other police patrols, most party guests left the place. According to official reports, the majority of these guests were strongly alcoholized, and it is unclear whether injuries have occurred.

comparable incidents

Similar scenes have been played on other celebrations in the past. One example is a birthday party in Neunkirchen, which also ended in a mass brawl, triggered by a dispute between two women, in which more and more family members were involved. Here, too, the police had to move up with a large contingent to settle the situation, and several injuries were brought to surrounding hospitals. The following clashes in Scheffelstrasse led to ensuring a baseball bat and to impose space bans. In such cases, language barriers are often an additional problem for the police who have difficulty conveying in the tense situation. These incidents illustrate the recurring challenges that the security forces face when they have to intervene in violent clashes, such as blue light deports saarland.

police and violence

The events also shed a light on the complex relationships between the police, violence and human rights. The police have a state monopoly of violence that makes a compulsion in certain situations. However, this use of violence must correspond to the legal basis and be proportionate. Unfortunately, trust in the police is often affected, especially when it comes to illegitimate use of violence. The discussion about police violence has increased in recent years, and reporting shows that both police officers and victims of violence can become and can exercise violence themselves. Reports by Amnesty International indicate the problem that illegitimate police violence is often falsified and there is no sufficient transparency. Violence against police officers is also a growing topic in public and requires legislative measures to protect the emergency services, as on [bpb] (https://www.bpb.de/themen/inere-sicherheit/dossier-inere-sicherheit/321874/get--und- und--und-polizistinnen-und-polizen) is indicated.
